I got distracted reading the hand history by a high stakes player whining about a bad beat in the chat. When I read the results I had to reread the hand.

this is the part that makes keeping him out of the game appear a little shady. art had a great style to counter garrett. basically always go to the flop with range advantage but also go for very thin value and bluff at correct frequencies. that kind of hyper-TAG style is the correct counter to a very LAG style like garrett plays.

pretty clear that the reason Art got blacklisted has nothing to do with his style of play otherwise he'd be run out of town long ago

I don't hope or not hope people aren't gay myself, but if someone else does that's their business/choice. Let them say what they'd like. You feel free to disagree. You'd never complain about a gay guy saying "i hope someone's not straight", right? Why not? Treat gays just like you would everyone else. They're not special or holy. They're just people just like you and I.

The fact that you say this is ironic.

So your stance is basically that everything is ok because everyone can have an opinion.

Everyone can have an opinion sure. But if that opinion is offensive and ignorant then everyone else also has the right to put some pressure in response to it.

Don't say something stupid and then cry about it when you get called out for it. That's the trade off you make to have a stupid opinion. Nothing's for free.

I'm not the type to try to convert a stranger from the internet through any meaningful arguments, especially to someone who is unwilling to learn. If they do not see their own hypocrisy through my passive aggressive quips, that guy is a lost cause.

Did that Asian guy speak Putonhua? I hope not.

for being a whiny *****

who wants to watch a pro who took out hundreds of thousands out of poker economy with his head in his hands "woe is me I can't believe I run so bad" and had a nerve to say "I'm coming for you" to a billionaire

leave that **** for 2/5 NL

contrast that with Andy who on stream with his head caved in stuck $400K and bleeding from every orifice played with the same demeanor and then ran a world class bluff on Garrett

saying "i'm coming for you" entirely depends on the context and tone. i would bet money without seeing that, that if Art said that, it was in good fun/sarcastic. even if he was angry it's hard to see how it would even matter. that sort of attitude made hellmuth famous.

having art on the stream and crushing was good for poker and if you disagree you haven't played in a lot of armenian home games.

all the streams are available on latb website

the guy is getting paid something like $500/hr to show up and be a pleasant person to play with, for that amount of money try not to make people uncomfortable

Hellmuth is a star. He can take a dump on the table on live stream and there will still be a line of people going around the casino to play with him. Art is a nobody who is going to be held to a different standard and he should've known it, too

The key to whining at live poker is to pop on a smile and tilt your head 30 degrees to one side while complaining. For some reason this makes the complaint seem less like personal soul crushing and more like oh come on guys now.

Think he was Gman (maybe with numbers after it) on twoplustwo, don't know if his poker screen names were ever public.

What are his live cash game results actually like? It's impossible to tell how much he's winning because live cash games aren't tracked.

I'm most impressed by that dude that crushes those Paul phua games.
Does anyone think Garret is better than dwans run in Vegas from years ago?

All I know is that if it wasn’t for Garrett, we would still today be watching Armenian Mike claim his bluff was a joke.

GMan owns that game.
